Meet Our Staff

Since October 1998

I started my career as a sales associate with Ron Tonkin Acura in 1998. Next, I was promoted to the finance department, New Car Sales Manager, General Sales Manager now I enjoy my role as the General Manager.

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. In my spare time I play basketball, golf and cycling.

I look forward to many great years here at Ron Tonkin Acura “The Home of The Happy Motorist!”

Since July 2008

I began my career with Ron Tonkin Acura in July of 2008. I started as a sales consultant and was promoted to internet sales in 2010.  After a successful 7 years in internet sales I moved into the Finance department.  Spending 2 years in finance taught me so much that I then moved to Sales Manager and then New Car Sales Manager.

Prior to working for Ron Tonkin Acura, I worked 13 wonderful years for Nordstrom. I sold in various departments before landing a manager position in women’s and men’s fragrances. This position taught me how to build relationships with the many of our fragrance vendors and diverse clients while balancing a steady and consistent sales volume. In 2006, I won Fragrance Counter Manager of the year and in 2007, I won the President’s Cup.

The Tonkin Family of Dealerships has the same culture and reputation of Nordstrom. The transition has been one of the easiest, as the clients are our top priority and customer service is #1. I am proud to contribute to the Precision Team award honored to our dealership 25 times. When I’m not at the dealership you will find me enjoying time with my family. I have a 6-year-old daughter, a 13-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son. We enjoy boating and camping in the summer and entertaining family and friends in the winter.

My goal with every client is to give them the best experience and to make them feel like family. I want all my clients to call me if there is every anything they need with their vehicle.

Please contact me if you would like a vehicle consultation!

Since March 2003

I started with Ron Tonkin Acura in March 2003. I grew up in the Midwest in a rural town with a population of 2000 people where tradition and values run deep.  As an employee of the Tonkin Family of Dealerships, I find it a very comfortable and easy fit due to the very strong customer service based atmosphere they created.

I still very much enjoy the feel of small-town life and recently purchased a house in North Plains, OR. If you don’t find me at home or here at the dealership, I’m more than likely enjoying the outdoors or touring Oregon on my motorcycle.

Since May 2003

Since May 2013

I started working at Ron Tonkin Acura in May of 2013. Prior to working for the Tonkins, I spent twelve years working in the consumer electronics industry. Wow, what a change!! I really enjoy this new journey of my life, as I have always loved working with the public, and the ability to build relationships with my clients.

Outside of work, you will find me enjoying quality time with my husband Marcus, son Elliot and daughter Payton. As a family, we really enjoy the ballpark. Whether it’s watching my husband play baseball, the both of us playing on our recreational softball teams, or teaching our son to throw a ball. We also enjoy catching a few Hops baseball games, right down the street from our house.

I also have a passion in life for Vintage Airstreams!!! You can find me putting on my “grubbies”, and putting in some elbow grease, to polish my 1963 Airstream Safari. I have spent two years restoring this silver Twinkie from top to bottom, inside and out. As a family, we enjoy camping in our Airstream with our fellow Oregon Airstream Group members.

Since April 2006

My first experience with Ron Tonkin Acura was as a customer–I purchased a vehicle at the dealership! At that time, I was working for a major competitor. However, my purchase experience at Ron Tonkin Acura was so amazing that I decided to join the team–that was 18 years ago.

I have been Salesperson of The Month 35 times during my tenure at Ron Tonkin Acura. I am also very proud of my dedication to customer satisfaction.

As an Oregon State Beaver, I was fortunate to play on the OSU basketball team during the tenure of the legendary Ralph Miller. Needless to say, but I enjoy playing basketball in my spare time.

As a newcomer to sales, devoted to Acura’s luxury, performance, and reliability, I go the extra mile – literally. Having spent over 4 hours delivering a vehicle, my strong knowledge ensures a non-pressuring, genuine experience. What sets me apart is a personalized approach mirroring the excellence of Ron Tonkin Acura – the first and longest-running Acura dealership. Your satisfaction is my unwavering commitment to an exceptional car-buying journey.

Originally from Kansas City, MO and have lived in Portland for 6 years now. I started with Ron Tonkin the Spring of 2024 and look forward to a long career with Acura. I am a US Army veteran with about 5 years of sales experience from a combination of Volkswagen, Hyundai and Kia. I have always loved the auto industry and strive to give my customers the best experience they can have when purchasing a vehicle.

When not at work I am usually hiking somewhere or spending time with my animals. I am a huge animal lover with 2 dogs and 2 cats who get spoiled way too much. A German Shepard/Doberman mix and a Staffordshire Terrier. When hiking I enjoy doing landscape photography which I am hoping to eventually make a name from as well. On those bad weather days, you could probably find me gaming on my PS5 or tending to my house plants which I found a recent love for.

Please contact me with any questions you may have. Always happy to help! 😊
